That's a good question Jim. The U.S. Hawks has the best record of both free speech and fair moderation of all the national forums. You would be treated fairly here and so would Warren. I don't have a dog in that fight, but even if I did, we have 4 other Board members (Joe, Bill, Sam, Scott) who could easily vote me down.

Can you explain, then, exactly how we arrived at the current 130 lb weak link standard? It's been in use since the earliest aerotowing records I can find.

Because it has the best known and accountable safety record (in my personal books anyway).
Swift - 2013/02/13 18:14:30 UTC
Can you elaborate more on how you personally arrived at this conclusion?
Jim Gaar - 2013/02/13 19:59:19 UTC
Why yes!
After 5 years as Safety and Launch Marshall for Adventure AirSports and towing (with a Dragonfly 582 BH) every type of wing class available on 3 different styles of carts and using Pro-tow and COM bridles and over 400 incident and accident free tows I feel it's pretty much the standard.
I would not/did not hesitate to assess each and every tow along with the conditions, experience of the towing pilot and wing type in confirming it's use.
Swift - 2013/02/13 20:59:29 UTC
And each assessment always worked out to one size fits all?
And volumes more incessant demented babbling in which he never actually answers any actual questions. Primo Bob Show material.Jim Gaar - 2013/02/15 21:27:45 UTC
Sorry to be slow answering...
Because it works with all the variations found at a modern towpark, or certainly any one where I would be responsible for safe launches. I came up in the early stages of ATing. I was a Mentor, and a test pilot. I'm NOT a tug pilot but all the tug pilots that worked with me (3) were on board with the current procedures described in this thread.Yes, for solo towing, every single one worked, hundreds of times!And each assessment always worked out to one size fits all?

The splitting of the hang gliding community and the strangling of hang gliding communications continues on the Oz Forum today. Swift had started a very important topic titled "Best Plan to Save Sport of Hang Gliding". Swift opened the topic with this great post:
http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60132
Best Plan to Save Sport of Hang GlidingAfter 10 pages of discussions (and many diversions by naysayers), Swift pointed out the flaw in Jim Gaar's objections to free speech:Swift - 2019/06/22 15:52:15 UTC
Let's start a conversation. I have an idea that can positively result in the growth of new pilots.
People can start lining up with their own arguments and I'll hold mine off for a while.
Do you see hang gliding dying a slow death, or not?
Steve Pierson's recent concerns as the premier hg manufacturer in the US tells me the premise is true.
What can we do about it?Swift was right on target (as usual). Jim knows very well that he's welcome to counter any complaints against him here on the U.S. Hawks. We have a very fair and objective Board of Directors that are willing to help resolve problems in the hang gliding community. So far, Jim has been unwilling to participate in that process.Swift - 2019/07/30 21:40:40 UTC
You used coarse language to say Bob K. wouldn't censor someone for saying bad things about you. I think that is a good thing. He doesn't censor your ability to counter that kind of information does he? What stops you from doing that?
Davis used the disagreements to first put the topic into the "Off Topic" section, and to eventually lock it altogether. Here's the final post by Davis:Moral of this story: If you've got a "Best Plan to Save Sport of Hang Gliding" and Davis doesn't like where it leads, he will lock your topic and put it in the basement. The same is true of Jack. Eventually they may even ban you. That's why this topic was started way back ... in 2011.Davis Straub - 2019/07/30 21:55:29 UTC
Enough with the personal attacks. The thread is closed.
Fuck yeah. Totally nailed it on the global warming and carbon dioxide thing for example. Not one single other individual was on board with him with his takes and numbers but he never wavered a millimeter's worth. And he was the only individual to get Steve Pierson's name right. Not even Steve Pierson has been able to accomplish that much.Swift was right on target (as usual).

Of course WE do. You took no chances with the whims of elections and hand picked and appointed them all on the basis of their superior records of fairness and objectiveness. And if they ever fail to live up to those standards you have the power to ignore and/or override them - sack them for no stated reason if it comes to that.We have a very fair and objective Board of Directors that are willing to help resolve problems in the hang gliding community.
Big fuckin' surprise. I got a process for Rodie. That vile lying piece o' shit no way in hell will ever get clicked into the membership here.So far, Jim has been unwilling to participate in that process.
So what's new? Tell me when Davis has EVER failed to sabotage a discussion that started threatening to move the sport in a positive direction? Ditto for Jack, Peter, any club forum you wanna name.Davis used the disagreements to first put the topic into the "Off Topic" section, and to eventually lock it altogether.
- What's the "HG Community"? The majority of the people in hang gliding are dregs who NEED to be permanently split off from it to the maximum extent possible. That's what's been done here at Kite Strings. They're gonna get quoted accurately, responded to, addressed. But they're never gonna be members here.Moral of this story: If you've got a "Best Plan to Save Sport of Hang Gliding" and Davis doesn't like where it leads, he will lock your topic and put it in the basement.

There’s nothing going on between us.
Yeah, they're deliberately misleading. So if you're doing your job right you ask the obvious follow-up question. "How 'bout at any point within the past six weeks?" "No comment." "Thank you for your time, Mister President." But in my humble opinion that shouldn't have been a major national concern anyway.There is no improper relationship.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Congressman, recently responded to a reporter about the military in response to a question from a CNN reporter about the DoD ban of transgenders from joining the U.S. armed forces. As Trey typically does so very well, he nailed it rather succinctly.
Question: How can President Trump claim to represent all U.S. citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, when he banned transgenders from joining the military? Isn't that discrimination?
Trey Gowdy's Response:
"Nobody has a right to serve in the Military. Nobody! What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer? It is very far from it - and for good reasons - let me cite a few."
"The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short. Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers."
He went on to explain:
"By the way, poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth. Malnourished? Drug addiction? Bad back? Criminal history? Low IQ? Anxiety? Phobias? Hearing damage? Six arms? Hear voices in your head? Self-identification as a Unicorn? Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair?
"Can't run the required course in the required time? Can't do the required number of push-ups? Not really a morning person? and refuse to get out of bed before noon? All can be legitimate reasons for denial"
"The Military has one job: Winning War. Anything else is a distraction and a liability. Did someone just scream? That isn't Fair? War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful."
"YOU must change yourself to meet Military standards and not the other way around. I say again: You don't change the Military - you must change yourself. The Military is not about being fair, it is about taking advantage of others and about winning."
"The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues. The Military needs to win wars and keep our Country safe - PERIOD!"
"If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or lethality...thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors."
"Any other questions?"
Yes. From JOINING the U.S. armed forces. Conspicuously silent about all the transgenders already SERVING successfully in U.S. armed forces - and still continuing to.Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Congressman, recently responded to a reporter about the military in response to a question from a CNN reporter about the DoD ban of transgenders from joining the U.S. armed forces.
Yeah, assholes like that typically do - as long as they don't have anybody with half a brain or better challenging them.As Trey typically does so very well, he nailed it rather succinctly.
- Sexual orientation doesn't have shit to do with transgender identification - asshole.Question: How can President Trump claim to represent all U.S. citizens, regardless of sexual orientation, when he banned transgenders from joining the military? Isn't that discrimination?
It certainly wasn't when if you were black you were consigned to a segregated unit and treated like shit. Did that up to 1948/07/26 at which point Truman put a stop to it - the segregation part anyway.What makes you people think the Military is an equal opportunity employer?
Plenty of too young individuals have lied about their ages, gotten in, performed successfully. Too short people tend to do really well in submarines and tunnels. George Washington was too tall by the standards of the day."The Military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short.
Citizens are denied for having bone spurs - but if you can get enough stupid racist Nazi bigots to vote for you then you can take over the most powerful military force the planet has ever seen as Commander In Chief. And then you can work overtime continuing to fuck over all the same sorts of individuals you were fucking over before you were able to get your tiny little hands on the launch codes.Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers."
The military DOES take people with criminal histories. A sociopath with great eyesight can make a pretty effective sniper. Also bear in mind that laws change over time. It's now totally legal in many states to be a partner in an interracial marriage for example. (As was Jerry Lee Lewis's marriage at the time.)Criminal history?
Low IQ is a major asset when lunatic and/or illegal commands are given in lunatic and/or illegal conflicts. And speaking of low IQ...Low IQ?
There's supposed to be a period between "denial" and the quotation mark - anonymous asshole who posted this bigoted rot."All can be legitimate reasons for denial"
Anxiety would've been a real good thing to have in the early morning hours of 1941/12/07 at Pearl Harbor. All the individuals who really had their shit together at the time had had it for days prior - but they're weren't enough of them in the right capacities.Anxiety?
I wonder how many artillery officers we have who DON'T have hearing damage - which they didn't before they became artillery officers. Maybe it would be a good idea to recruit people who already have the hearing damage for specialties where it's known that those who don't have it will have it.Hearing damage?
Joan of Arc heard voices in her head. Led a French army that kicked a lot of English ass for a while.Hear voices in your head?
FDR needed a special access ramp for his wheelchair. Commander In Chief of the US military for all of WW2 up to several weeks before VE Day.Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair?
And you are the world's foremost expert on Winning War - the way the US always has so efficiently and decisively in the past and always will in the future. You know that there couldn't POSSIBLY BE ANYONE in ANY CATEGORY that The Military has determined to be undesirable who could do ANYTHING to make ANY positive difference of ANY degree in ANY outcome."The Military has one job: Winning War.
Or smart enough to come up with "E=MC2" and figure out what you might be able to accomplish with a few pounds of uranium faster than Hitler's side was able to. (Arrogant fucking asshole.)Anything else is a distraction and a liability. Did someone just scream? That isn't Fair? War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful."
My theory is that an army commander does what is necessary to accomplish his mission, and that nearly eighty percent of his mission is to arouse morale in his men.
Officers must not hesitate to lead. Before an attack is declared hopeless, the senior officer must lead an attack in person.
And he isn't remembered as being particularly socially wonderful.All officers, and particularly General Officers, must be vitally interested in everything that interests the soldier. Usually you will gain a great deal of knowledge by being interested, but even if you do not, the fact that you appear interested has a very high morale influence on the soldier.
'Cause YOU couldn't POSSIBLY have any insights on anything that The Military had down ten times better fifty years ago. If YOU think there's more of a threat from a Japanese carrier task force than from local Japanese saboteurs don't even think of questioning the orders to cluster the planes to make them easier for the sentries to guard."YOU must change yourself to meet Military standards and not the other way around."
Bull fucking shit. EVERYONE has special issues. So it needs to accommodate them if it's gonna keep any actual humans in it. And special issues often come with special strengths and weaknesses. And that's why The Military puts different individuals into different specialties."The Military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues.
- Fuck yeah! Reminds me so very much of:"The Military needs to win wars and keep our Country safe - PERIOD!"

Also if any of your personal issues could be an asset that dramatically enhance readiness or lethality. Or minimize the need for lethality."If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or lethality...thank you for applying and good luck in future endeavors."
Not for a total fuckin' dickhead such as yourself. I've already heard thirty times what I needed to know what I was dealing with."Any other questions?"
You can't keep white and black troops together, and you can't trust negroes by themselves. It is difficult to get negroes enough for the purpose indicated in the President's message, much less enough for an Army. Use all the negroes you can get, for all the purposes for which you need them, but don't arm them. The day you make soldiers of them is the beginning of the end of the revolution. If slaves will make good soldiers our whole theory of slavery is wrong but they won't make soldiers. As a class they are wanting in every qualification of a soldier. Better by far to yield to the demands of England and France and abolish slavery, and thereby purchase their aid, than to resort to this policy, which leads as certainly to ruin and subjugation as it is adopted; you want more soldiers, and hence the proposition to take negroes into the Army. Before resorting to it, at least try every reasonable mode of getting white soldiers. I do not entertain a doubt that you can by the volunteering policy get more men into the service than you can arm. I have more fears about arms than about men. For heavens sake try it before you fill with gloom and despondency the hearts of many of our truest and most devoted men by resorting to the suicidal policy of arming our slaves.

We've had a hawk after the chickens for a week or so. The chickens were all in the thicket west of the grape arbor, hiding and making danger/alarm sounds.
I was outside and had the 20ga with #4 shot. I walked up near the grape arbor and after standing there ~5minutes, I saw the hawk sitting on the ground amongst some weeds, not 15ft in front of me.
I got a shot off but the dust flew and the hawk was a split second ahead of me. He got away!
This afternoon I was working on the RV area outback near the hen house. I heard a loud squalking commotion around in front of the house. I picked up the 20ga. and ran around the house, with the hammer cocked, thinking the hawk would be on top of a chicken.
What a surprise. The chicken was on top, the hawk was dazed. The hen was after his eyes. He was a goner.
The hen has two weekold chicks. The hawk got a third chick a couple of days ago.
We have named the hen Red Revenge!
